Ground Stabilisation Mats
Erosion Control & Ground Stabilisation Mats
Ground and soil stabilisation are often critical elements of civil infrastructure projects for which erosion control regularly plays a significant part.
Correct erosion control measures help ensure the longevity, sustainability and intended design life of such developments.
EARTHLOK is a revolutionary flexible concrete matting solution for permanent erosion control—helping prevent piping and undermining of the subgrade and critical structural elements, leading to the protection of assets.
When used on embankments, this can assist in preventing slides from occurring and helps reinforce the soil for ground stabilisation. EARTHLOK, with its unique and innovative design features, allows contractors and engineers to bring innovation and efficiency to their projects.
Ground Stabilisation Mats: How EARTHLOK Works
Our ground stabilisation mats or erosion control blankets are engineered to provide superior support and durability in various applications, including embankments, floodway areas, dams, waterways, and more. Here’s how:
-
EARTHLOK mats are customised for project specifications, delivered pre-rolled and ready for use.
-
Installation is quick, with mats unrolled directly onto a geotechnically stable surface.
-
Each roll includes rated lifting slings for easy mat placement and readjustment.
With a unique geogrid and flexible design, our soil stabilisation matting prevents soil loss and erosions while ensuring long-term sustainability, safety, and easy installation.
Benefits of EARTHLOK: Soil Stabilisation Services that Make a Difference
From bank stabilisation to roadways, choosing EARTHLOK as your soil stabilisation matting brings numerous advantages:
01
Simplified Installation
EARTHLOK mats are pre-cast in a hardened state and cut to precise size specifications, reducing the need for additional onsite works. The EARTHLOK solution eliminates the need for:
-
Onsite concrete/grout pouring often required for other erosion control solutions.
-
Rock sourcing and placement required when rock beaching is used for erosion control.
Using EARTHLOK speeds up the installation process and ensures consistency and quality control. The ground stabilisation mats’ hardened state allows immediate placement and use—streamlining project timelines and reducing labour costs.
02
Cost Efficiency
Minimise ongoing maintenance costs with our durable solutions for ground stabilisation earthwork contractors prefer. Built to last and endure UV sun exposure and ground heat, EARTHLOK’s unique geogrid component significantly enhances the longevity of our products.
Unlike standard commercial off-the-shelf geogrids, which typically last between 3 and 7 years under UV exposure, our customised UV-stabilised and chemically inert geogrid has been thoroughly tested to withstand over 50 years in full sun exposure and over 100 years in vegetated applications.
This exceptional durability reduces the need for frequent replacements and ensures continuous protection against erosion, making EARTHLOK a cost-effective choice for your ground stabilisation system and projects.
03
Enhanced Stability & Environmental Protection
Designed to reinforce soil and protect the subgrade, our erosion control mat can be a core part of ground stabilisation systems significantly reducing the risk of erosion and environmental damage.
A single truckload of EARTHLOK is equivalent to 20 truckloads of rock, significantly reducing the carbon footprint compared to traditional rip rap.
Efficiently installed at rates up to 1000 square metres per day, our soil stabilisation matting offers a quick and sustainable erosion control solution.
With a 3 out of 4 Greenstar rating and consisting of recycled materials, EARTHLOK not only prevents soil degradation and runoff but also preserves local ecosystems, particularly when our vegetated option is selected.
04
Integrated Underlay
EARTHLOK’s design incorporates an integrated underlay, eliminating the need for a separate layer typically required in other systems.
This integrated feature saves significant installation time and costs, providing a seamless, single-layer solution.
This feature is especially beneficial in large-scale projects where time and budget constraints are critical, ensuring projects stay on track while delivering reliable erosion control and soil stabilisation services.
